The National Rifle Association has obtained a Department of Justice
memo calling for national gun registration and confiscation. The nine
page “cursory summary” on current gun control initiatives was not officially released by the Obama administration.
The DOJ memo (downloadable here as a PDF)
states the administration “believes that a gun ban will not work
without mandatory gun confiscation,” according to the NRA, and thinks
universal background checks “won’t work without requiring national gun
registration.” Obama has yet to publicly support national registration
or firearms confiscation, although the memo reveals his administration
is moving in that direction.
The memo stands in stark contrast to the administration’s public
stance on so-called gun control. White House spokesman Jay Carney said
last month that laws proposed by Obama would not “take away a gun from a
single law-abiding American.”
The NRA declined to explain how it obtained the document. The memo
was written by the acting director of the Justice Department’s National
Institute of Justice, Greg Ridgeway. It is dated January 4, two weeks
before Obama mounted his attack on the Second Amendment following the
Sandy Hook massacre. Ridgeway came to the Justice Department from the
RAND corporation.
The memo says universal background checks on firearms purchases may
help the government push to control and eventually outlaw firearms, but
it would lead to an increase in illegally purchased guns.
It pointed out that banning high capacity ammunition clips would be
ineffective due to the fact there is a large number of them already in
circulation.
A Justice Department official said the memo is an unfinished review of gun violence research and does not represent administration policy.
The DOJ memo arrived a few weeks prior to a letter sent out by the
Department of Veterans Affairs. “A determination of incompetency will
prohibit you from purchasing, possessing, receiving, or transporting a
firearm or ammunition,” the sent to military veterans states.
“If you knowingly violate any of these prohibitions, you may be fined,
imprisoned, or both pursuant to the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention
Act, Pub.L.No. 103-159, as implemented at 18, United States Code
924(a)(2).”
“US veterans are receiving letters from the government informing them
that they are disabled and not allowed to own, purchase or possess a
firearm. If the veteran does decide to purchase a firearm he will by
fined, imprisoned or both,” the Gateway Pundit remarked.More Here
